This Saturday (11/27) we will be talking with Justin West on creating an industry to grow bountiful ecosystems on America's lawns bringing food resilience, wildlife/pollinator habitat, water retention, beauty, increased property value, and flexible green jobs to every community.
Justin West is the co-founder and CEO of Thrive Lot, an edible landscaping platform that transforms traditional yards into beautiful, edible landscapes and forest gardens. He and his team created Thrive Lot with the vision of developing a sustainable way to grow food without harsh chemical input, soil erosion, landscape degradation, or the use of unnatural methods.
After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Mr. West’s successful career in marketing spanned ten years, eventually leading him to develop Thrive Lot. Their network of designers, installers and stewards create yards that are aesthetically pleasing, multi-functional, bountiful and ecologically diverse. Thrive Lot’s online platform provides visionary homeowners with transparency and clarity in the landscape design experience.

With Thrive Lot, yards are aesthetically pleasing, multi-functional, bountiful and ecologically diverse. Thrive Lot’s online platform provides visionary homeowners with transparency and clarity in the landscape design experience.
Thrive Lot brings organic food production closer to home by designing, installing and maintaining edible landscapes and forest gardens. Every Thrive Lot project installed means more nutritious foods, better curb appeal, reduced reliance on fragile systems, and instilled respect for the land all around us.
The result? Beautiful landscapes filled with flowers, bees, butterflies, and birds that also provide the freshest, healthiest foods and herbs–without any work for the homeowner. A local contractor will build and maintain (steward) the ecosystem for you. This is not your grandma’s gardening.
